Rodderick Dontae Trammell, a 36-year-old man from Hamilton, Ohio, was tragically killed on December 5, 2018. He was found at the intersection of Hanover Street and Garden Avenue, suffering from major head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Hamilton police reported that Trammell was targeted in the shooting, as he suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The Butler County Coroner’s office ruled his death a homicide following an autopsy.
The incident occurred just south of St.
Joseph Catholic Church, a few blocks from Trammell's home. Witnesses reported hearing several shots before finding Trammell on the ground, pulseless and not breathing. Two men were seen running away from the scene shortly after the shots were fired. Despite the investigation, no arrests have been made in connection with Trammell's death. The case remains open, and the Hamilton police continue to seek information from the public.
The lack of arrests and the targeted nature of the shooting have left the community and Trammell's family seeking answers. Investigators have provided little information on a possible motive, making the case even more perplexing. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Hamilton police or Crime Stoppers.
Trammell's death has left a void in the community, and his family continues to seek justice for the loss of their loved one. The ongoing investigation serves as a reminder of the impact such violent crimes have on families and communities, and the importance of coming forward with any information that could help solve the case.
